Thread: Unknown Facts About The Box-Hit Film "Avatar"

Here is some thing very Interesting about the legendary film "Avatar"

• 1994 - Development on the movie Avatar began with an 80-page script by James Cameron.
• December 19th, 1997 - James Cameron’s Titanic was released in theatres everywhere.
• 1998 - Titanic becomes the highest grossing film of all time with 1.83 billion dollars worldwide.
• 1999 - Filming was supposed to begin on Avatar but James Cameron decided the technology just wasn’t there yet.
• 2005 - Work on the language and race of the Na’vi began.
• 2006 - Work began on the final script and universe.
• December 18th, 2009 - The release date of James Cameron’s latest movie, Avatar.
• December 2009 - January 2010 - Avatar consecutively holds No.1 spot in the box office.
• January 25th, 2010 - Avatar takes Titanic’s place as the highest grossing film of all time.

In just four weeks, James Cameron’s Avatar managed to make enough worldwide to dethrone Titanic. On top of that, they made it look so simple; to do something movies have been trying to do for over a decade. But on Monday, Avatar grossed 1.84 billion dollars, surpassing Titanic’s 1.83 billion.
The last movie to even threaten Titanic was the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight; but the masked avenger fell short. Titanic withstood the blows of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars for 13 years. But ironically, all it took was a giant blue mass to knock it over like it was a cheesy romance. The giant blue mass being the Na’vi that is.



Honestly speaking, Avatar was a good movie. I had the fortune of seeing it in both 2D and 3D and liked it either way. Though personally, the 3D was the better of the two by miles.



Now what does this have to say about James Cameron? He now holds the two highest grossing films ever. When no one else could topple his record, he did. But now there are even more pressing questions at hand. First off, will Avatar hold its spot after Titanic gets re-released in 3D in 2011? Or how many more days before Avatar becomes the highest domestic grossing move? Or more importantly, will we get to see a Na’vi invasion of Earth in either of the two sequels?



Either way, if you haven’t seen Avatar, go. Now. And if you haven’t seen it in 3D, go. It isn’t anything like the cheesy 3D you’ve seen in all the other 3D movies; there is no blatant “here comes my hand!!!” scenes in this one. The 3D is there to make it seem more lifelike, not make you lean back in your seat.
